Friday we replaced our usual morning routine with an early departure for the Corning Glass Museum. Since it was a rainy day, we watched the first half of "The Sound of Music" during the 1.5 hour drive. We had two friends - Madeline and Bridget. A full car is the best way! Once at the museum we browsed the gift shop. The boys found this huge marble machine quite fascinating, so Titus wanted to spend his money on a marble right away! Our tour began at 10am. They divided us into groups by age and each tour guide did a great job relating the exotic glass creations to the kids. The hot glass show was the highlight, by far. After lunch we drove the Watkins Glen (20 minutes north). The outdoor hiking was my favorite part of the day. It was a longer drive home - just because it was. We made pizza and had dinner with the Ely kiddos and Madeline. A full table is always a great way to wrap up the week!
